'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The website is updating pretty much live (or within minutes after events, anyway), and results have been all over various news sites way before they do the NBC broadcasts. Jesse is watching NBC.
edit: corrected! I didn't realize that NBC is live at this time of day -- I was thinking of the stuff during the day when it was 3 in the morning there.
I'm waiting for the Olympics to start by watching HGTV, which is so bad for me. HGTV just fills me with jealousy and hope for the day when I can own my own home. A home with more than one room. One day... But how do other parts of the country have actual nice places to live that are under $200,000? I don't understand. It doesn't get even remotely, mildly appealing around here until your reach the $400,000 range. Which is one of those things that's really depressing when I think about my salary. And then I start having crazy thoughts about how I should move to Tennessee. And that's why HGTV is the bad crack.
You are correct, I am watching NBC, and I didn't even realize it was live! I thought I was being especially silly for whitefonting something that happened hours ago.
Is that live?
It's not showing stuff from Saturday night?
The medal ceremony on right now is live, at least. Or that's what they tell me on the screen.
Really, I figure anyone who cares about results knows about them basically as they happen, or is that a bad assumption?
It's 8:41 am in China, no?
I believe NBC made a deal that involved scheduling the popular sports like swimming and gymnastics for really early in the morning so that they could air them live on the East coast.

I'd say that's a bad assumption. I don't want to know until I see it happen.
Because of the exact twelve hour difference, we're going to get to see a lot of events live, so the swimming tonight has been life, Sunday morning swimming in Beijing.
ETA: Twelve hour difference from East Coast time. Sorry. The brain, she is not firing on all cylinders.
China is 14 hours ahead of EST, so it's almost 1pm there. So, nights we can expect live coverage of morning events.
ETA: Nope, Barb is right, it's 12 hours ahead. Which means someone on television is WRONG!
